Downloaded the android demo, runs decently on my phone (Doogee X5S - Android 5.1)

There is no exit program button on either the Windows/Android version.

Thanks for that Cyburn.

Embarrassingly the exit button was pointed out to us the evening before the kickstarter, so the demo build had already been cut :oops: There will be one in the final game.

It should run fine on Android TV and Shield etc too for anyone that has them and wants to try it.

I can't find the demo on the play store and signed up to get email updates but haven't had anything yet.

Does anyone have a link to the android demo ?

Slayerx,
Go to the campaign page and click the downloads link. You then need to enter a request. Huey Games will send the demo invite to you - they normall respond pretty quick.

Let me know if you don't get anything - I'll sort it for you.

I believe that you can press Option+Q to quit out of the Mac version... I'm not on my iMac to check, but I'm sure that works :) .

Yup Surge Mode is locked in and ready to be loaded.

Glad you're enjoying the demo Slayer.

There is likely to be a demo update early next week for mobile and PC/Mac it may have a few new bits and bobs in too :datass:

I know *everyone is deep in Zelda at the moment, but just a heads up that I'll be on a live stream with Huey Games on Wednesday evening at 7pm. We'll be talking (and playing) Hyper Sentinel, and other stuff and answering questions. To join in just pop over to the Kickstarter page and there is a link right near the top:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ro ... hoot-em-up

Cyburn, dude, you're bang on! Lets share some detail on this baby :) :

NEW DEMO UPDATE!

The first big news from the Live Stream was the release of a NEW version of the Hyper Sentinel demo (version 1.3.0), which is available to download now for Windows, Mac and Android (iOS will take longer due to Apple approval process - sorry). The new version of the demo includes the addition of 3 NEW POWERDROIDS, as well as some bug fixes and requested features:

Powerdroids
> Arc Streamer
Drops a trail of explosive mines behind your Sentinel Fighter to surround and obliterate enemies.
> Duel Beam
Enables two powerful beam cannons which frazzle everything in their path.
> Plasma Rifle
Unleash the fury of triple plasma bursts to pummel your Alienoid nemesis into oblivion.

Bug Fixes
> Demo ending after level 2: Occasionally you would see the level 3 boss appearing in level 2 and the demo ending before level 3 began. This has now been fixed.
> Android ranking locked at 100: The online world ranking for Android players was not functioning and remained stuck on 100. This has now been fixed so Android players can dive in and begin challenging for a spot in the prestigious Hall of Fame top 10!

Requested Features
> Music and SFX volume level can now be configured
> Z key now acts as a fire button
> You can skip more quickly through the bonus score summaries at the end of a level
> More intelligent displaying of touch controls on Android based on controller input (or lack of)

Thank you all for your feedback and bug reports, it is greatly appreciated!

There won't be a live stream today. Instead expect a full podcast early next week. I'll post details when I have them.

Thanks for all the continued support!

Rest assured I'm working hard building load of new levels and features in the game as we speak :datass:

We're now heading towards the final 24 hours of the Kickstarter... the deadline arrives at dawn on Friday morning!

The project has been a huge success so far but Starquake and the Huey team are hoping for a final push before the timer ends. There is still time for people to be a part of the Hyper Sentinel adventure!

Remember that you can try the demo for free... why not give it a go tonight?

> View the mini trailer - delight your senses!
> Check out the Kickstarter - the game will be available for iOS, Android, PC, Mac, PS4 and XBO!
> Download the FREE demo for PC or Mac - fire bullets at baddies!

Finally, congraulations to Starquake on achieving the dream of having a videogame published! On behalf of my fellow GRcadians... well played, dude!

Thanks Jawa!

We have just hit our 500th backer :toot:

Last day and a bit left and just short of 19K at the moment - still hoping for the C64 graphics mode.

Sailed past 20k. 8hrs left and £900 to secure C64 graphics mode! .... Getting exciting. :o

Now just under £400 is needed to reach the C64 graphics level :toot: .

C'mon... we've got until dawn! I want to wake up to a world where we can play Hyper Sentinel in classic C64 style :wub: .
